 | Anonymous: Could I get some 10.2 Rose oneshots? But not too much angst. |
Sure, some happy TenToo one-shots:
Hope you enjoy them, Anon!
LOL did I just write the longest response about the character with the least screentime? I think I did.
Anyway Ten2/Ten II/TenToo/10.5/Handy/Cloen/etc is the best. I’m one of, like, five people in the world who loved the resolution to the Doctor/Rose story in JE right from the off. For me as someone in the fandom it was basically a gift-wrapped ‘verse in which to play with my ship without worrying about canon contradicting or interfering with anything, plus my ship both got a happy ending and went off to die alone SO BASICALLY it was the best of both worlds for me. I know this meme is supposed to be about the character and not neccessarily the ship, but since I think we can all agree that he basically exists in order to give some measure of closure to the Doctor/Rose storyline, those two things go kind of hand-in-hand.
| Anonymous: I've always had really mixed feelings about TenToo, and I've never read any TenToo/Rose stuff. Do you have any good fics you'd reccomend for like a "first time reader"?(for lack of better term lol) please and thank you! |
Hm, I’ve been looking at this in my ask for like three days now, trying to pick the best fics. There’s so many, though! And I just love TenToo so much! Hmmm, okay, best TenToo fics for first-timers. I’ll go with good fics that don’t ruin your life (which means fics with happy endings!) and have good character development and/or insight to TenToo’s awesome.
If you’re still having issues with TenToo, then read this. It’s a End of Time Fix-it fic. It’s not amazing (second half plot is a bit weak) but the first part will definitely make TenToo’s existence a good thing in your mind:
If you’re STILL having issues, then read these metas:
| Anonymous: Hey! Have you got any good fics for Rose/TenToo in Pete's World? Thanks in advance! xx |
Sure! I’ve recced TenToo/Rose twice before (here and here), so make sure to check those out as well, since I’m not going to do repeats.
BONUS HEARTBREAKING ANGST FIC:
![thomaslevitt:
I’ve been coming across more and more Doctor Who fans who tend to refer to The Doctor as “the actual Doctor”, while dismissing TenToo (a.k.a. “Handy”, “Blue”, “10.5”, etc.) as a cheap copy. I just don’t understand why.
I mean, I am willing to admit that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and if you don’t like TenToo for whatever reason, that’s perfectly fine. However, writing off a character with a canonical personality is just insulting to the creators and writers.
The evidence that both The Doctor and TenToo are the “actual” Doctors is right in the “Journey’s End” script:
The Doctor: But you’ve got to, because we saved the universe, but at a cost, and the cost is him. He destroyed the Daleks, he committed genocide, he’s too dangerous to be left on his own.
New Doctor: You made me.
The Doctor: Exactly. You were born in battle, full of blood and anger and revenge. Remind you of someone? That’s me when we first met, and you made me better. Now you can do the same for him.
Rose: But he’s not you.
The Doctor: He needs you, that’s very me.
Donna: But it’s better than that though. Don’t you see what he’s trying to give you? Tell her, go on.
New Doctor: I look like him, I think like him, same memory, same thoughts, same everything—except I’ve only got one heart.
Rose: Which means?
New Doctor: I’m part human. Specifically the aging part, I’ll grow old and never regenerate. I’ve only got one life, Rose Tyler. I could spend it with you, if you want.
Rose: [in disbelief] You’ll grow old at the same time as me.
New Doctor: Together.
They are the same man. Their only difference is the single heart that will allow TenToo to grow old with Rose. After that, they are identical, from looks to memories to personalities.
Also, it seems to me that most of the people who dismiss TenToo do so because they so strongly ship Ten/Rose. I can completely understand that. However, if you’re that person, please take a moment and think: you must believe that Ten loves Rose more than anything. That he would do anything for her.
Would he really leave her with a cheap knock-off of himself? Or would he make sure that the person he’s leaving her with, the Doctor that she can live with and love and grow with - and who can do all those things for her - is him, in every possible and conceivable way?
The Doctor loves Rose Tyler, but he could never be with her the way she wanted - and yes, even the way he wanted. So he gives her a part of himself. He gives her, essentially, the part of himself that he has to keep locked away in order to survive near-immortality.
TenToo is not a copy, or a failed experiment.
TenToo is The Doctor; he is his heart, his love, his humanity.
And Rose Tyler belongs with him.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzv6mkx1ID1r4rgxuo1_1280.jpg)

So… I don’t have a Tumblr and I’m definitely not getting one, ever, because I already have more than a slight tendency towards procrastination and a degree to finish and Doctor Who takes up most of my time anyway. That doesn’t mean I cannot appreciate how awesome some blogs are. So this is a little gift for you and Cate over at cyruspotnoodle, based on that post. It’s dear Meta-crisis and the t-shirt. YOU GIRLS. I LOVE YOU. YOUR POSTS MAKE ME HAPPY and that’s more than enough to earn you a crappy sketch from me.
(and I assume I should say who I am so I don’t sound like a creep, hm? no tumblr but I do have a deviantart. Look for ~PrincessLeighCherry)
Oh… my god. kdjfhgkjdshfgjhdskfglkjsdfkgjhskdjfgjsdg this is gorgeous. This is gorgeous!!! How even. What even. dfkjsld omfg. ANN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS EVER! No one has ever drawn anything like this for me before and I just djhfgjjdg.
I honestly cannot, right now. This is so lovely and I’m just at a total loss. I’m so glad you enjoy my blog and thank you for this! How could I ever pay you back?! Anything you want, love, it’s yours! :D I wish I had a deviantart account now!!
edit: jfc i totally agree. i should be in bed with tentoo ngl
EDIT: guys, I deleted the original post. Please reblog and like this one ONLY.
Because it needed to be done for my own peace of mind.
I will probably update this from time to time, but for now, these are the very best Ten II/Rose fics I’ve read. There’s no John Smith, no babyfic (I think LOL) and no Rose-is-immortal-and-goes-to-see-the-original-Doctor!fic.

 | lastofthetimeladies: NILI. <3 You're Queen of the Fic Recs, so I was wondering if you could rec me any and all happy Rose/TenToo fics? They can have angst, as long as they depict Rose and TenToo as happy together in the end. Bonus points for smut. THANKS AND I LOVE YOU~ |
I LOVE YOU TOOOO. And okay, TenToo/Rose! I’ve already recced some TenToo/Rose stories, but here are some more!
I already recced a good portion of my adult fics in the previous fic rec, but I’m currently reading a TenToo/Rose/Ten fic that’s ripping my soul in two (it’s the missing scenes between when they all haul the ship home and Bad Wolf Bay), so if it ends happy, I’ll post that too.
Also, Cate posted some TenToo/Rose fic recs last night!
